To abstain from or act together in abstaining from using, buying, or dealing with as an expression of protest or disfavor or as a means of coercion.
I don't think anyone is trying to coerce Bethesda, we just think they suck. |
Yet the definition I posted is still a valid, and works in the way we are using it. |
No, because your definition fails to put any constraints on why you are avoiding something.
Someone doesn't have a TV so they are boycotting Blu-Ray.
A war vet lost his legs so he is boycotting shoes.
Someone doesn't like peanuts so they are boycotting Peanut M&Ms.
Somoene doesn't know how to use the English language, so they are boycotting the rational use of definitions on the VGChartz forums.
See how silly your definition sounds?
I give that post a 9.0.
